"Holy Mole! The Spirit of Food and the People Behind It"
September 17-18th
Durham, NC.
Holy Mole aims to explore the existing and potential partnerships between growers, migrant farmworkers and their families with local, slow and organic food movements using gastronomy and visual arts as a bond between them.
On Saturday, September 18th, at Durham Central Park Holy Mole will hold an afternoon of hands on classes on how to make Mexican delicacies, as well as other instructional sessions, exhibitions and information tables. Special guest Doña Guillermina Garcia of Mujeres Sin Fronteras will be teaching us how to make Mole, a traditional Mexican dish richly steeped in culture and flavor. In addition, the day’s activities will culminate in a dinner from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. where discussion leaders, other invited participants and the public in general will have the opportunity to exchange ideas in small groups while eating the food prepared during the workshops.
There will also be an exhibit of photographs and video screenings made by farmworker youth at Room 100 Gallery, Golden Belt on Friday, September 17th from 6-9 p.m.
Funds raised will support the Fuller Housing Project and NC FIELD Coalition for housing for 2 farmworker families as well as relief for food scarcity amongst the farmworker communities of NC.
